Before internet memes there were postcards

People would look at funny pictures, find a funny one they liked, write a comment on the back of it and send it to a friend

And (for now) they still have postcards for sale - people take a photo of them and send that instead.

Now they're all AI generated slop, not even worth taking a picture of

I find it so funny. In the movie 'Her' with ScarJo and Joaquin Phoenix, his entire companies job is to ghost write like greeting cards and various love letters or breakup, eulogies, etc.

Meanwhile, the movie is about Ai companionship and its odd that his job wasn't done by the ai.

And maybe that's part of the point. But its funny to me that in our real world, the ai is just doing that job and the human connection/interaction is still bad...
